Services and offerings:
Acupuncture
An acupuncture session can be very relaxing, yes even like sleeping blissfully in a field of lavender. Acupuncture activates your bodies innate ability to heal. By switching your nervous system from fight or flight to rest and digest, your body can do what it does so well, return to balance and heal.
If you think of a river that has a dam, it gets stuck and stagnate. Acupuncture helps energy freely circulate through the body. When the energy (qi) and blood move freely we are healthy, when there is a blockage that is when we get pain and illness.
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years, a testament to its power. We can treat mostly anything that does not require immediate emergency medical attention, like a surgery, or if it is a structural issue.
We use tiny single use needles, (the size of a human hair). You may feel heaviness, warmth, tingling, numbness, but you will likely forget most of the needles are there, and you may drift into that lovely between-wake-and-sleep state. I have had some patients say this is the favorite part of their week.
TCM Herbal Therapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) herbal therapy works with your individual constitution and condition.
TCM herbs are great for a number of issues including sleep, mood, digestion, allergies, hormone balancing, menstruation, excessive sweating, and much more.
I use only vegan herbs.
I feel fortunate to share the wisdom of TCM Herbology to help bring balance and harmony to your body and mind.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture illuminates your glow, working from the inside out and from the outside in. It promotes the production of collagen, eases fine lines, increases facial tone, decreases puffiness around the eyes, and enhances the radiance of the complexion.
I have completed Advanced Facial Acupuncture training with Michelle Gellis, a leader in this field.
This luxurious treatment includes microscopic facial needles, whole body acupuncture, gentle glass suction cupping, and light gua sha (using a sleek jade tool) to smooth away stress and fatigue and bring your best face forward.
This gentle effective practice takes time and consistency as it is not an aggressive medical procedure, and instead works with your body’s innate healing ability. You can immediately see a nice glow, however around 8-10 weekly treatments are advised to see deeper improvements, and then maintained as needed to keep your skin glowing, smooth, and refreshed.
Food therapy, meditation, and lifestyle
I work with you to find little or big tweaks to improve the quality of your life, whether that be TCM diet therapy, life-style tips such as sleep tips, or tools such as active meditations.
I love having you come in. I love seeing you! I however want you to be empowered, and I am so happy when patients no longer need to come in, but like to come in for the occasional maintenance, prevention, and acu naps.
Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxa
Cupping, a favorite of many patients, uses suction to ease muscle tension, to invigorate healing, and release toxins. Gua Sha uses a jade tool to smooth away tension and stiffness. And moxa is a herb rolled into a cigar-like stick, which is used to warm and nourish certain acupuncture points. These therapies may be added as needed into your acupuncture session.
